BMX rim has arrived:

I have thorn comfort bars on my regular work bike, which are perfect.

I'm not sure if these will have enough sweep but will give them a try because I need the rise. Didn't get the XL frame because is it uglier/heavier and the TT is a bit long for me.

Ideal handlebar is probably Hunter smooth move, but difficult (impossible?) to get hold of.

Parts:

Still need to sort a few more bits, but getting there.

Current conundrum is the NOS/not NOS pair of hubs. Can’t decide if I should strip/polish them or ignore.

£85 or fleabaying this weekend.

Which model/colour SRAM shifter please?

Thanks both. I think i'll just order it - £138 quid for 'not shit' will do me fine.

Grind the hanger off. Aluminium is soft and black is easy colour to match :D

I need more audio inputs.

I'm using a Focusrite Clarett 8 interface. Ideally I want the Clarett Octopre to be matchy matchy but its quite expensive.

My wallet is telling me to buy the Behringer ADA8200, but you know, Behringer...

Is there something else somewhere between these two that is half decent? Requirements: ADAT, at least 8 TRS compatible inputs ideally on the rear of the unit. Outs are a bonus but not essential.

Use the back ones for the dry months. better pad life and brakes still work great.

‘Bump’ £89.99...

Just find out which type of security bolts are holding it on and erm, liberate it?

Ordered 32t for the bling (stainless). 25-11 at the back. Can always change later if it doesn't work out.

That’s the plan.

I have been eyeing up a midnight special and have got over 'the headtube is f*cking ugly' train of thought. Are there any differences on the 2020 version or is it just a different colour?

Would like some input on gearing...

The bullit I currently use for work has an 8 speed Shimano hub of some kind. I never use gears 1 or 8 so I am using 6 gears 36.5-80.5 gear inches.

I am building my omnium 1x10 so should I stick with the same range and get 10 speeds instead of 6? Keeping in mind my build is probably gonna end up about 4-5kg lighter than the bullit?

32/11 gives me 78.5 GI, or 20 mph at 90rpm which I think is probably fast enough for central London usage?

In good condition, one of the springs is a bit deformed but works fine. No pads or hangers.

2nd dibs Romani

Get ready for the RM handling fee 🤣

Also, this might also work (try and find out which pins the tascam wants power from...) sending something 0.5v more power than it requires shouldn’t any harm. It’s the amps that are important

I just bought a porta one. Jammed tape deck which may or may not be fixable, but if not the mixer section works and it was very cheap.

This is how the power looks, definitely bodged. Maybe you could get the US one with the correct connector and do something similar?

Almost aquired everything needed to build. Took it out the box to give myself a kick up the arse.

It will be getting a lot of silver parts. The rear hub is pretty tatty and the front is NOS so debating if I should get the rear reanodised. Could strip/polish both but not sure how sensible that is for all weather riding.

You have PM.
